Limit: 50 URLs per check.

What does this tool do?

The SERPInsight Bulk Meta Robots Checker analyzes up to 50 URLs simultaneously to verify their indexing instructions. It crawls each page, parses the HTML, and specifically looks for the <meta name="robots"> tag.

It automatically detects critical directives like index, noindex, follow, and nofollow. This ensures you can quickly spot pages that are accidentally blocked from search engines or verify that your staging environment is correctly hidden.

    Review Results

    Green icons indicate indexable pages. Red icons indicate a `noindex` block. Expand items to see the raw tag.

How to read the results

Indexable

The page is allowed in search results. The tag is either missing (default allow) or explicitly says `index`.

Blocked

A `noindex` directive was found. Search engines are instructed NOT to show this page.

Nofollow

The page may be indexable, but links on the page will not pass authority (`nofollow` detected).

Raw Tag

Expand the result row to see the exact code string found in the page header.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if the Robots Meta tag is missing?
If the robots meta tag is missing from the HTML, search engines assume the page is Indexable and that links can be Followed. This is the default behavior of the web, so a missing tag is usually not an error unless you intended to block the page.
Does this tool check robots.txt?
No. This tool specifically checks the HTML code of the page itself. robots.txt is a separate text file that prevents crawling, whereas the meta tag prevents indexing. You should check both if you are having issues.
What does "Nofollow" mean?
"Nofollow" tells search engine bots not to pass SEO authority (link juice) through the links on that page. It does not prevent the page itself from being indexed, but it stops the flow of PageRank to other pages.
